Writer & Researcher

Self-Employed

I ghostwrote for a NYT Bestselling author and serial entrepreneur.

Ghostwriter

What do Jesus, Socrates, and Marco Polo have in common? 

They all used ghostwriters to capture their knowledge. 

My name's Dennis, and I run Founders Ink — my specialized ghostwriting agency.

We help experts and entrepreneurs create professional thought leadership. 

How do we do it?

By ghostwriting value-led social media posts, articles, and newsletters that help generate inbound.

I say "ghostwriting" because everyone understands what that means.

But to be honest, the work we do is closer to that of a scribe.

Here's the difference:

Scribe: 100% your ideas, in your words, in your voice.

Ghostwriter: 30% your ideas, fill in the rest with conventional wisdom.

We help our clients unlock the wisdom and expertise that's stuck in their head.

Then we scale that knowledge across digital media to attract those who will benefit from it most. 

Your target audience.
